Analysis# Albania Fertility Rate
Albania's fertility rate stands at 1.341 births per woman in 2024, representing a dramatic 79% decline since 1960, when the rate peaked at 6.383 births per woman. The country has now reached its historical low, marking a complete reversal in demographic patterns over six decades. This sharp contraction reflects fundamental shifts in family planning, women's education, economic development, and social priorities across Albanian society.
The downward trajectory accelerated significantly after 2015, dropping from 1.631 to 1.341 births per woman within nine years. Each year from 2015 onward showed consistent decline, with no reversals or plateaus. Continuation of this trend appears likely given Albania's ongoing urbanization and integration into European economic structures, positioning the country among nations with below-replacement fertility rates.
